Doubly ionized helium ions are projected with a speed of 10 km s−110 \text{ km s}^{-1} perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field of magnitude 1.0 T1.0 \text{ T}. Calculate the radius of the circle in which an ion circulates.

Options

  1. A8.4×10−4 m8.4 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m}
  2. B1.0×10−4 m1.0 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m}
  3. C4.2×10−4 m4.2 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m}
  4. D2.1×10−4 m2.1 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m}

Correct answer

D. 2.1×10−4 m2.1 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m}

Step-by-step solution

The mass of a doubly ionized helium ion (alpha particle) is m=4×1.66×10−27 kg=6.64×10−27 kgm = 4 \times 1.66 \times 10^{-27} \text{ kg} = 6.64 \times 10^{-27} \text{ kg}.

The charge of the ion is q=2e=2×1.6×10−19 C=3.2×10−19 Cq = 2e = 2 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C} = 3.2 \times 10^{-19} \text{ C}.

The velocity of the ion is v=10 km s−1=104 m s−1v = 10 \text{ km s}^{-1} = 10^4 \text{ m s}^{-1} and the uniform magnetic field is B=1.0 TB = 1.0 \text{ T}.

The radius of the circular path is given by r=mvqBr = \dfrac{mv}{qB}.

Substituting the values:

r=6.64×10−27×1043.2×10−19×1.0r = \dfrac{6.64 \times 10^{-27} \times 10^4}{3.2 \times 10^{-19} \times 1.0}

r=6.643.2×10−4 mr = \dfrac{6.64}{3.2} \times 10^{-4} \text{ m}

r≈2.075×10−4 m≈2.1×10−4 mr \approx 2.075 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m} \approx 2.1 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m}
